Como fazer Ultimate Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash 5 very ripe bananas (about 3 cups mashed). If using frozen bananas, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid in a strainer (peel before freezing to prevent discoloration).
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chopped walnuts (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Top with slices of one fresh, ripe banana.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
